Lennon wants Celtic job

The former Hoops midfielder has taken over at Parkhead until the end of the season following Thursday's sacking of Tony Mowbray in the wake of Wednesday's humiliating 4-0 defeat at St Mirren.

Lennon said: "Yes I do want the job for keeps, everyone knows what this club means to me. It is a wonderful opportunity for me. Obviously I cam coming in in difficult circumstances but I have a job to do between now and the end of the season."

With the likes of Paul Lambert, Mark Hughes, Slaven Bilic and Roy Keane among the names linked with the job Lennon knows he will need to prove his abilities quickly if he is to be offered the job on a full-time basis.

He faces his first game in charge at home to Kilmarnock tomorrow with Celtic trailing rivals Rangers by 10 points having played two games more at the top of the Clydesdale Bank Premier League table.

"It will be very difficult to do that (prove his credentials for the job) in such a short space of time, like all managers you look for your first result straight away.

"I have got to win as many games as I can and get as close to Rangers as we possibly can in the league and try to win the cup.

"You just take the job and see where it takes you, even if things go well it may not be offered to me."
